1. The following should always be observed for safety
•Please provide an exclusive circuit for the air conditioner and do not connect other electrical appliances to it.
•Be sure to read “The following should always be observed for safety” before installing the air conditioner.
•Be sure to observe the cautions specified here as they include important
items related to safety.
•The indications and meanings are as follows.
• After reading this manual, be sure to keep it together with the instruction
manual in a handy place on the customer’s site.
: Indicates a part which must be grounded.
Warning:
Carefully read the labels affixed to the main unit.
Warning:
Could lead to death, serious injury, etc.
Caution:
Could lead to serious injury in particular environments when operated incorrectly.
Warning:
•Do not install it by yourself (customer).
Incomplete installation could cause injury due to fire, electric shock, the
unit falling or leakage of water. Consult the dealer from whom you purchased the unit or special installer.
•Install the unit securely in a place which can bear the weight of the unit.
When installed in an insufficient strong place, the unit could fall causing
injured.
•Use the specified wires to connect the indoor and outdoor units securely
and attach the wires firmly to the terminal board connecting sections so
the stress of the wires is not applied to the sections.
Incomplete connecting and fixing could cause fire.
•Do not use intermediate connection of the power cord or the extension
cord and do not connect many devices to one AC outlet.
It could cause a fire or an electric shock due to defective contact, defective
insulation, exceeding the permissible current, etc.
•Check that the refrigerant gas does not leak after installation has completed.
•Perform the installation securely referring to the installation manual.
Incomplete installation could cause a personal injury due to fire, electric
shock, the unit falling or leakage of water.
•Use only specified cables for wiring. The wiring connections must be made
securely with no tension applied on the terminal connections. Also, never
splice the cables for wiring (unless otherwise indicated in this document).
Failure to observe these instructions may result in overheating or a fire.
•Perform electrical work according to the installation manual and be sure to
use an exclusive circuit.
Caution:
•Perform grounding.
Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe arrester or telephone ground wire. Defective grounding could cause an electric shock.
•Do not install the unit in a place where an inflammable gas leaks.
If gas leaks and accumulates in the area surrounding the unit, it could
cause an explosion.
•Install a ground leakage breaker depending on the installation place (where
it is humid).
If a ground leakage breaker is not installed, it could cause an electric
shock.
If the capacity of the power circuit is insufficient or there is incomplete
electrical work, it could result in a fire or an electric shock.
•Attach the electrical part cover to the indoor unit and the service panel to
the outdoor unit securely.
If the electrical part cover in the indoor unit and/or the service panel in the
outdoor unit are not attached securely, it could result in a fire or an electric
shock due to dust, water, etc.
•Be sure to use the part provided or specified parts for the installation
work.
The use of defective parts could cause an injury or leakage of water due to
a fire, an electric shock, the unit falling, etc.
•Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during operation.
If the refrigerant comes in contact with a flame, poisonous gases will be
released.
•When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipes. The compressor may burst if air etc. get into it.
•When installing or relocating, or servicing the air conditioner, use only the
specified refrigerant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it
with any other refrigerant and do not allow air to remain in the lines.
If air is mixed with the refrigerant, then it can be the cause of abnormal
high pressure in the refrigerant line, and may result in an explosion and
other hazards.
The use of any refrigerant other than that specified for the system will
cause mechanical failure or system malfunction or unit breakdown. In the
worst case, this could lead to a serious impediment to securing product
safety.
•Perform the drainage/piping work securely according to the installation
manual.
If there is a defect in the drainage/piping work, water could drop from the
unit and household goods could be wet and damaged.
•Fasten a flare nut with a torque wrench as specified in this manual.
When fastened too tight, a flare nut may broken after a long period and
cause a leakage of refrigerant.
2. Selecting the installation location

PURGING PROCEDURES
Connect the refrigerant pipes (both the liquid and gas pipes) between the indoor
and the outdoor units.
Remove the service port cap of the stop valve on the side of the outdoor unit gas pipe.
(The stop valve will not work in its initial state fresh out of the factory (totally closed
with cap on).)
Connect the gage manifold valve and the vacuum pump to the service port of the
stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit.
Run the vacuum pump. (Vacuumize for more than 15 minutes.)
Check the vacuum with the gage manifold valve, then close the gage manifold valve,
and stop the vacuum pump.
Leave it as is for one or two minutes. Make sure the pointer of the gage manifold
valve remains in the same position. Confirm that the pressure gage show -0.101
MPa (-760 mmHg)
*Close
*Open
Hexagonal wrench
*4 to 5 turns
Stop valve
Remove the gage manifold valve quickly from the service port of the stop valve.
After refrigerant pipes are connected and evacuated, fully open all stop valves on
gas and liquid pipe sides.

1. Connect gas cylinder to the service port of stop valve (3-way).
2. Execute air purge of the pipe (or hose) coming from refrigerant gas cylinder.
3. Replenish specified amount of refrigerant, while running the air conditioner for cooling.
Note:
In case of adding refrigerant, comply with the quantity specified for the refrigerating cycle.
Caution:
• Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Take care not to discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere during installation, reinstallation, or repairs to the refrigerant circuit.
• For additional charging, charge the refrigerant from liquid phase of the gas
cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from the gas phase, composition change may
occur in the refrigerant inside the cylinder and the outdoor unit. In this
case, ability of the refrigerating cycle decreases or normal operation can
be impossible. However, charging the liquid refrigerant all at once may
cause the compressor to be locked. Thus, charge the refrigerant slowly.
To maintain the high pressure of the gas cylinder, warm the gas cylinder with warm
water (under 40°C) during cold season. But never use naked fire or steam.
